If I am reading your post correctly, your theory is that his motive was being angry at them. Is that correct? If so, what was he angry about?
Again, if I am reading your post correctly, his intent was not to harm them. Was his intent to scare them through a harsh verbal warning? Again, what was he warning them about?
It seems you are implying that the "unspeakable" was a fall from the bridge. Is that correct? If so, do you think physical contact from him attributed to that fall?
You also seem to imply that after one fell from the bridge that he "disposed" of the other in order to cover up the initial event. Is that true?
I just want to make sure that I am understanding your thoughts on this.
I appreciate the discussion.
The above is my opinion only.
I do this on my phone so I can't see all your questions unless I write them down.
Now, though, I'm beginning to 2nd guess my theory. A bad habit of mine.
I can visualize this scenario perfectly in my mind and I'm always bewildered why others can't see it too. But......my brain works differently than most. I get from A
to Z and know exactly how I got there but I don't always "show my work" in between.
Yes, I'm imagining him being angry and having a burr under his saddle.
Why? Because he's an old fart and maybe they were on his land. Maybe they were checking out the cemetary, maybe they gave him a hard time. Maybe he'd been having a "cocktail" and emotions are closer to the surface, than normal.
Maybe he was yelling at them while they skedaddled up the bridge. Maybe they were laughing and that made him angrier. Maybe they were mocking him.
Incensed, maybe he thought the girls were being disrespectful.
Maybe he gets on the bridge and goes after them his anger still not dissapating.
Libby may have been nervous or maybe she thought filming him would halt him in his tracks. No, he kept on muttering under his breath.
He gets up to them and now the girls are scared. It's possible he lost his balance, leaned into Abby and over the side she went.
Both stunned, he and Libby run down the hill to see if her friend
was ok. Let's say she's not. It's apparent she has broken some bones. She's unconscious.
It's his fault. He knows it and her friend knows it. He has been drinking. He carries her over the creek w/ Libby right behind.
He doesn't know what to do.
He's in a panic. Libby is looking bad.
And then....maybe he hurts Libby.
She's a big girl. I can't help but think she's put up a heck of a fight inflaming him more.
They're both hurt and he leaves them there and takes off in his vehicle until he can clear his mind.
He comes home around 6:30 and finds that there's a search for the girls.
Early in the a.m. maybe he goes where he left them and stages the scene to make it look like a SK had done it. He can't drag both girls somewhere else as they are too heavy. He leaves them there.
Ok. Hope I addressed your questions. This is sheer fiction with maybe a little truth sprinkled in. It makes sense to me but that's probably the problem. I'm the only one who sees it.
